May Be Traced to Festivals Held In
Honor of the Mythological
God Bacchus.
Thinking hack for the origin of nny
theatrical performance, our minds nat
urally revert first to Shakespeare ami
his Olobo theater. Some of us would
go bnek n Uttlo further; and many of
us would choose Mollurc, the plays ho
wrote and staged, often In the open,
for the vuln Louis and then, In his own
theater, where, while he was the fa
vorite of the king, ho was the ruge of
France.
Hut these were only steps In the
evolution of the theater and the play.
For the origin of nil dramatic repre
sentations we must go hack to the
days or Idol worship, when many gods
were thought to rule the destinies of
man.
Two brothers, Dannus and Aegyptus,
sons of Bolus, shared the throne of
Egypt. After a particularly heated
quarrel, Dannus, with his followers,
set sail In search of a new land where
he could rule alone. They lnndcd near
the Greek city of Argus, of which he
shortly became king.
Here, lo celebrate his good fortune,
ho Instituted festivals In honor of the
god Bacchus, who was supposed to
have helped to make his undertaking
successful. These festivals consisted
of nothing more than riotous revelry,
Interspersed with songs, which, after
the manner of the day, were most
primitive and often coarse.
But the festivals soon became very
popular and were held periodically all
over Greece. From this beginning, In
the form of a kind of public worship,
which was the first entertainment or
performance known, evolved the tlie
utrlcal projects of later ages which de
veloped Into the Institution of the
theater ns we know It today.
Hoover .Hay Ittin
Herbert Hoover absolutely refuses
to permit his name bolng used by
either of tho two standard and recog
nized political parties, according to
latost word from his headquarters.
He contends If he is forced Into tho
race for president, which honor he
states is not coveted, that he will run
as an Independent progressive.
Frlonds of Hoover state that "once
a republican alway a republican" and
they oxpoct to seo him making tho
nice on that ticket. Hoover wrh n
republican boforo tho war, but claims
lo liavo been non-partlsnn during t)
conlllct. HO has boon mentioned re
peatedly us a presidential possibility
and lately as a democratic choice.
The former food administrator Is re
luctant In making a flat declaration,
although ho has Intimated previously
in public that he might bo a candidate.

HILLS MOLDED BY GLACIERS
Peculiar Formation of "Drumllns"
Makes Them Appear as Though
Intelligently Designed.
Between Syracuse and Rochester, N.
Y lies a country of hills, known as
drumllns, which Is one of tho most
beautiful bits of scenery In the eastern
United States. The term dmmlln is
an Irish one, and Is applied to low,
rolling hills of glacial origin which ex
ist in that country, and also In parts
of New York and New England. This
section between Syracuse and Roches
ter Is the very heart of tho American
drumllns.
Most American mountains and hills
were formed by violent disturbances
of the earth's surface, and their rude
origin Is reflected In their ruggedness.
But the drumllns were built by tho
great Ice sheet which once covered all
of North America. Tho materials of
which they are made were pushed to
gether slowly by tho crawling glnclers,
molded and tnmped and smoothed by
tho grent Ice fingers ns a child makes
mud pics.
Tho drumllns look ns though they
had been designed by some great Intel
ligence with n sense of beauty, for
they rise in smootli, gentle curves.
They aro remarkably uniform In
height, usually a llttlo less than 200
feet, and so smooth and lenient are
their slopes that many of them nro cul
tivated to their summits. Some of
them nro ns round as half an apple,
and others are long welts or rolls.
Scattorcd among tho hills are a
number of small lakes and ponds, clear
and pretty, and there Is good Ashing
In many of them. The drumlins are a
favorite playground ot the people in
Syracuse, Rochester and other nearby
towns, but they nro little known be

now the sultan of Morocco, Mulnl
Hand, played bridge witli his dentist
has been amusedly told.
A close friendship sprang up be
tween the sultan and an English
dentist, and as often as not, bridge
took tho place of dentistry. The
dentist would arrive with his timid
lady assistant, nnd nil his Implements
of torture, only to be Invited to sit
down nt the table and piny cards. The
lady-assistant was very young nnd
very shy, and was more accustomed to
piny children's card games than
bridge. A fourth player would bo
found nnd the Ill-assorted party com
pleted. The ex-sultan enjoyed himself
immensely, lie generally won, per
haps by never permitting the trembling
lady assistant to be his pnrtnor. The
points were one franc a hundred, so
no very serious dnmage could be done;
but rich ns the sultan was, he re
joiced more in his humblo winnings at
bridge than over his many thousnnds
in tho banks. Not a little of his en
joyment was owing to the fact that ho
felt that he was "doing" tho dentist.
"He comes," the ex-sultan would say,
"to mend my teeth and to tako my
gold, and In the end I win his francs."
But one day the cllmnx came. Tho
teeth were excellently repaired the
work was of the best there was no
more to be done but to pay the bill
and the bill very naturally and rightly
Included all tho bridge hours, nt so
much per hour. It was the most ex
pensive bridge Mulnl Hand ever
played.
How the Impression of the Youth of
Twenty-One Is Properly Resented
by His Elders.
That reporting is n young man's
business Is Illustrated in some news
paper every dny by some news Item
telling about something, usually un
fortunate, that happened to an old
mnn or an nged womnn, the Ohio
State Journal observes. Often the
nged person, It develops somewhere
in the story, Is fifty-throe, we will sny,
or somewhere betwwn fifty and six
ty. As every editor has reason to
know, this youthful point of view of
the reporters not Infrequently Is re
sented by the aged person referred to.
To be run ovor by the motorcar was
bad enough, but to be called aged is
adding Insult to injury. Nobody un
der seventy seems old to himself, and
many between seventy-live nnd eighty
would rather not be considered nged.
We talk hopefully of a man's being
only as old as he feels, but no mntter
how ho feels n mnn of lifty Impresses
tho youth of twenty-one ns verging
upon the sore and yellow, If not nl
ready there. Our memory goes back
to the time when n womnn of thirty-
five looked almost hopelessly aged to
us, nnd now we know vivacious girls
of forty. And Daisy Ashford opened
her Immortal work by remnrklng:
"Mr. Snlteena was an elderly mnn of
forty-two." Wo don't know nt what
ngo .cldorllness begins for Daisy now,
but If she lives long enough she will
rench the point where her wny of
classifying Mr. Salteona would be to
sny that ho was a young mnn of forty-two.
Remembered Father.
Stnnton understands thnt his father
Is n traveling man, nnd tries to count
tho days until tho two or three weeks'
trip has been mnde, and a few hours'
romp begins. At the end of two weeks
recently ho received a card from fa
ther explaining It would be a few
dnys longer before he came home.
Shortly nfter receipt of tho card ho
wns heard talking to his bnby broth
er and quiet peeping enabled us to ob
serve him holding tho enrd over tho
bnby's crib while he kept repenting.
"This curd Is from father; don't you
remember father?"
Mongolians Great Meat Eaters.
Inhabitants of Mongolia aro great
meat eaters, living In some cases en
tlrely on mutton. It Is not uncommon
for a Mongol to consume ten pounds
of this meat at one sitting. Ho nlso
comnares other foods by asking If
they are as good as mutton. The Mon
gol puts mutton fat In his tea, which
Is prepared with milk from tho poor
est grade of tea, pressed Into bricks,
Ho drinks enormous quantities of this,
30 cups n dny being no uncommon
amount for nr. adult. Tho natives cat
whenever opportunity comes, there
being no regulnr meal hours.
Water Is scarce In Mongollu,
few wells along the caravan route
furnishing the entire supply. During
tho winter nnd spring tho enmel is
tho only nnlmnl that can cross tho
desert and subsist on tho dried
up grasses. At this season of tho year
blocks of lco aro carried for water
supply, and In other seasons two largo
tubs aro carried on ench camel, ono
tub on each side.
Seeing With the Soul.
What you seo with your soul helps
determine what vou arc. Tho mind
cannot contemplate visions without re
actions. The deeper the vision tno
more potent the reacting Influence.
Only surfnee men. men of the non
thinking type go through, life without
moments of sober sitting nt the shrlno
of conscience and there weighing the
problems of life. When mnn sees his
power nnd appreciates that every un
used vestige detracts In multiples he
seeks to turn It to nccount. And It
blesses In proportion to the enthusi
asm with which It Is ndvnnced. Tho
good we do returns with grenter power
when It is done without Uiougnt or re
ward. We nre In the world to make tho
most of It. We must see the soul If
we are to gather tho full reward of our
possibilities. This is every man's
right. Grit.
